Anyone from the UK on here?

Which installer did you use to install your dashcams? And how much was it, if you don’t mind me asking.

Cheers

Loads of us from the UK.

90% install ourselves. I'm not at all technical minded and I know sod all about cars, but installing a dashcam is miles away from rocket science.

They have a sucker or a sticky mount, and a power lead. Should be able to suss it from that yourself eh? Took me 12 minutes to sort my first one out, and that included reading the manual!

Did you know you can lose your 'man card' for doing that?

I was once told 60% of men do not read instruction booklets, and 70% of those, regret it!

(Although both percentages do seem a bit on the low side.)

Sorry, I’m talking about hardwiring the dash cam to the car battery.

Halfords can fit theirs and Nextbase dashcams.

Correct....if you trust Halfords.

Remeber, a lot of[front] dashcam wiring traverses along where air bags may be installed. This presents a whole new ball game.

I hardwired mine in myself with a piggy back fuse and tucked the cables away safely. Well under half an hours work.

I've got an F800pro fitted. Really impressed with the quality of the recording.
